The point he was making was that most of our microchips(and semiconductors) come from China and Taiwan. There was legislation a couple years ago called the CHIPS Act to try to pull us off of that dependency but we're very much playing catch up in that sphere. I'm admittedly not an expert but we don't make much here in Texas. There's some production in the desert Southwest like Arizona and Nevada but it is not a strength of this country. Hopefully, in the near future that changes.

Remember, the Geneva convention is more of a guideline than actual rules. Like the pirate code

I mean honestly... the XM25 is basically a bolt-gun from Warhammer 40k

[@grimalkin6676]

So a normal grenade is thrown, hence not a bullet, so not an exploding bullet and thus not a warcrime. As for grenade launchers (like the mk19 belt fed grenade machinegun someone in another comment mentioned) the really only reason they are not war crimes is because they explode on impact, they are not designed to penetrate the body first and then detonate inside the body, hence not an exploding bullet.

The best part is that, eventually, materials science will advance to the point where we can make a real life boltor from Warhammer 40k that legally meets all the definitions of ordinance but is still most definitely just a SAW yeeting micro-grenades out of a box mag. Big enough to be legal, but light enough to still be practical as a primary weapon. And when that day comes, somebody is going to get away with something really stupid until the rules get re-written. Because it's never a war crime the first time.

... I hate how I'm still thinking about cheese 🤣

[@jackhammertwo1]

And the funny thing about this is, after the USA Caned the Project,South Korea decided to make their own, for future reference,look Up S&T Daewoo K11.

[@RagingRaygun]

My take away was that the only reason we dont have man portable laser guns yet is because of the Geneva convention.

[@maeckknox6535]

Fun Fact Texas instruments makes the chips for the JAVELIN Missiles so they already have military contracts.

[@ForgottenHonor0]

Stabbing someone with a piece of luggage is the most Marine thing I've ever heard, I swear to god...

[@rmartinson19]

This video killed me. To learn that Boltguns from Warhammer 40k are actually real, only to immediately have my dreams crushed by the knowledge that their very existence is illegal... 😮‍💨

I always saw the Geneva Convention as a guidebook of 'Don't do these things if you don't want others to do them to you' kind of book.

[@jameshunt9208]

"Thats a full infant!"

[@wizzy_tekken]

This gun needs to be in Robocop Rogue City for RoboCop to use.

[@Relaxedplaythroughs]

They violated this again with the AA-12 and its grenade rounds

[@phoenixx913]

Knowing that the military is going to do military things I'll bet we still have all the XM25s that were made and they're just in storage somewhere waiting for the day all those rules go out the window.

[@iron_side5674]

We´re never gonna have a Boltgun with THAT attitude.

[@richardmyhan3369]

The god emperor doesn't care about Geneva or her conventions. Bolters for everyone. 😂😂
